COnnecting REpositories

CORE, May 06, 2020

In an email today CORE announced that it is in the process of expanding its ambassadors network internationally. "CORE wants to optimise its services in your area and increase the amount of free of cost open access research content that can be accessed by researchers, students, librarians and lifelong learners." This is a good opportunity to get connected into the global open access network. The COnnecting REpositories (CORE) initiative bills itself as "the world's largest collection of open access research papers" and offers a search interface to 186,266,176 papers (as of this writing). I tried it out and got some immediately useful results. Its services include an API for analytical searches and processing. It is a not-for-profit run by Jisc.
